I made the paper!

"I'm not afraid," Jane said. "This war is wrong. I hate to see our young men and women and innocent Iraqis die for greed. It's just frustrating."

Mike is the only one not supporting Kerry and we will straighten him out later about the troop thing.
The person that wrote the article is an intern at the paper and he did a pretty good job. I think the only thing he missed was we've been out there since well before the war started - almost two years now. I'm not to happy that they put my mother's and my age in but not the men's.

I posted yesterday about our protest.

1. Great Job!

Hopefully, this is going on in every small town. We've had ours here in South Florida, and we have a very active Pax Christi group.
When it becomes dangerous to exercise our freedom of speech, it's the most important time to do it. I commend you, your mother, and all the others.

PS.-Could you send a little of that 59 degree weather down south.

2. Great Job goddess40!

but he did say you have been protesting since before the illegal invasion

The group, which has been protesting on the triangle of public land just south of the Marathon County Courthouse for more than a year, originally began its protests in October 2002, before the war against Iraq began, on the 400 block.

Keep up the good work!

4. Another True Hero in Our Ranks!!! Thank You.

Now Our War Is With Karma
Swallow thy arrogant words, oh Pentagon!
Beware the brave Backlash
Of shock and awe
The fear laden memories of the dreaded Shah
Once shielded by thy merciless sword.

Before lie the multitudes..Vengeful allies of the Dead.
At thine heal, the patient bearers of Truth and Justice
Seek thy head.
